Okwabasebenzi abasebasha abangene emsebenzini ngesikhathi sobhubhane, kungokokuqala ngqa bemenywa ephathini yenkampani. Abanye sebekujwayele ukusebenza besekhaya kungaba itoho noma isikhathi esigcwele futhi bangase baqhube isimiso sabo ngendlela ehlukile kunangaphambili. Abanye abasebenzi basemahhovisi sebebuyele ezinkambisweni zangaphambi kobhubhane, baya emahhovisi izinsuku ezinhlanu ngesonto. Futhi kwezinye izinkampani, zontathu izinhlobo zabasebenzi zikhona enhlanganweni efanayo.
“Siphakathi kwemihlaba manje,” kusho uJeff Schwartz, umeluleki omkhulu wohlelo lwe-Deloitte’s Future of Work kanye nesekela likamongameli endaweni yemakethe yamathalente i-Gloat. “Futhi sisazama ukuthola ukuthi singaphatha kanjani lolu shintsho.”
Ngakho-ke lokho kusho ukuthini ngephathi yakho yomsebenzi weholide?
Nakhu ochwepheshe bendawo yokusebenza abakwelulekayo uma kuziwa ephathini yamaholide enkampani yakho.
Ngokuvamile, amaphathi amaholide kufanele abhekwe njengalokho – izikhathi zomphakathi ezikuvumela ukuthi uhlangane nabaphathi kanye nozakwabo, sebenzela eceleni, kusho ochwepheshe. Yize okuningi mayelana nendawo yokusebenza kungenzeka ukuthi sekushintshile ngesikhathi sodlame, umqondo wephathi yamaholide usafana, basho. Kepha kunama-nuances amasha adlalwayo angathinta izinqumo zakho ezizungeze iqembu.
Kunezinto ezimbalwa ongase uthande ukuzicabangela ekunqumeni ukuthi uye ephathini yasemsebenzini, ukuthi uhlela ukuhlala isikhathi esingakanani uma uhamba nokuthi ungayiphatha kanjani iphathi ebonakalayo. Izindaba ezinhle? Ochwepheshe abaningana bathi lo bhubhane ugqamise ukubaluleka – nezinselelo ezingaba khona – zezimpilo zabantu ngaphandle komsebenzi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ezimweni eziningi lokho kuye kwaphumela ekubeni abaphathi abangase babe nokuqonda okwengeziwe ukuthi ungase uxakeke ngeminye imithwalo yemfanelo.
“Sifunda ukwenza izinto futhi,” kusho uJill Gugino Pante, umqondisi weLerner Career Services Center yaseNyuvesi yaseDelaware. “Kodwa futhi, sisalele kancane futhi siqonda kangcono abantu.”
Lapho unquma ukuthi uye ephathini yokuzithandela yomsebenzi wamaholide, zibuze ukuthi yiliphi inani olindele ukulithola kulo mcimbi, kusho uSophie Theen, umxhumanisi wezabasebenzi. Abasebenzi bangase babone ukubaluleka kokumane bathole isikhathi sokubhekana nozakwabo, babe nethuba lokuzijabulisa noma ukwakha izibopho ezingcono.
“Kodwa uma usesimweni lapho ungazizwa sengathi kuzokwengeza noma yiliphi inani, zizwe ukhululekile ukwehla,” kusho yena.
Izisebenzi ezikude noma ezixubile zingase zithole inzuzo eyengeziwe emicimbini yamaholide njengoba zingase zingahlangani kakhulu nozakwabo mathupha. Lokhu kungase kube yithuba lokuqala labo basebenzi abalitholayo lokuzijabulisa nje.
“Ukujwayelana kudala ukwethembana,” kusho uPante. “Ukuze [working] ubudlelwano cishe buzoba ngcono. ”
Ochwepheshe abaningi bomsebenzi bathi awuzizwa ucindezelwe ukuya ephathini ozikhethele yona. Uma ukhetha ukungayi, kufanele wazise ngesizotha umphathi wakho uma ubhekene nokungabikho buthule. Lokhu kusiza abantu bazi ukuthi yini okufanele bayilindele futhi kunganciphisa ukucabangela okubi mayelana nokuthi kungani ulahlekile.
Uma umcimbi uyimpoqo, noma kukhona okulindele okungashiwongo oya kuwo, kodwa usazizwa ungakhululekile, hamba unohlelo engqondweni, kusho uBrenda Ellington Booth, umqeqeshi ophethe kanye noprofesa e-Kellogg School of Management eNorthwestern University. Lokho kungabandakanya ukugqoka imaskhi, kusho uPante. U-Ellington Booth uthe kungase kusho ukuhamba ngemoto nozakwenu noma uma ungakaze uhlangane nomuntu mathupha ngaphambili, ukuthumela umlayezo kumuntu osebenza naye omjwayele futhi uhlela ukufika ngesikhathi esisodwa emcimbini, isibonelo.
Ukufika sekwephuzile ngemfashini kungase futhi kudambise ukungakhululeki okungaba khona njengoba abantu abaningi bazoba sephathini ngaphambi kokuthi ufike. Kodwa ngokungafani nephathi yomngane, cishe ngeke ufune ukufika ngemva kwemizuzu engaphezu kwengu-20 noma engu-30 ephathini yenkampani futhi ngisho nangaphansi kwalokho uma kuwumcimbi wangempela, isidlo sakusihlwa noma iphathi esekwe emsebenzini lapho abantu bangase bakulinde khona. ukufika, kusho u-Ellington Booth.
Ukwenza kufushane kakhulu ukubonakala ephathini yeholide yenkampani kungase kungabi ukubukeka okuhle kakhulu, ochwepheshe bayavuma. Ngakho uma uba khona, zilungiselele ukuchitha isikhathi esingaphezu kwesigamu sehora emcimbini. Ungase futhi ufune ukuqonda ukuthi umcimbi uhlanganisani kusenesikhathi. Ingabe isidlo sakusihlwa, lapho kungase kube nzima khona ukuhamba phakathi nesifundo sesibili? Uzoba semaqenjini futhi udlale imidlalo? Ingabe umphathi wakho noma i-CEO izokhuluma?
“Kukhona okulindelekile ukuthi ube khona ngesikhathi esine-ajenda,” uSchwartz uthi.
Kodwa imicimbi ebonakalayo ivame ukuvumela indlela ehlukile, amanothi kaSchwartz. Abasebenzi sebejwayele ukuthi uma kuqala umhlangano, noma ngabe ngezwi noma ngengxoxo, bangahlala isikhathi esithile ngenxa yezinye izibopho. Uma iphathi yeholide ebonakalayo ihlanganisa imisebenzi, u-Schwartz uphakamise ukuthi abasebenzi bathathe indlela efanayo futhi basho kusenesikhathi.
Ngemuva kwakho konke ukucatshangelwa, uma ungaqiniseki ngalokho okulindeleke kuwe, ukubheja okuphephile ukubuza ozakwenu omethembayo noma umphathi ukuthi ukhululekile yini, kusho uPante. Futhi u-Ellington Booth uthi kuhle futhi ukubeka izinhloso zakho ngaphambi kokuya ephathini yeholide. Ingabe bakhona abantu ofuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi uthola isikhathi sokubhekana nabo? Ufuna ukubonwa kanjani?
USchwartz uthi uma uke waphelela ocingweni lokuthi uzoya yini, gxuma uhambe. Kungenzeka ukuthi abantu abakhona banethemba lokuxhumana nozakwabo okungenzeka bangahlangani nabo ngesikhathi sebhizinisi elijwayelekile.
“Ungase ube nesikhathi esimnandi,” esho ehleka. “Kodwa azikho iziqinisekiso.”
